"Not what I have but what I do is my kingdom"
Simplified meaning
Having lots of things, like money or fancy items, doesn't define who you are. It's what you choose to do with your time and your actions that truly matter. Imagine two people: one has a big house and many cars, but spends his days doing nothing meaningful. The other person has a simple home and a regular job but helps others and works hard to improve their community. The second person, through their actions, builds a 'kingdom' of respect and positivity around them.
You can apply this wisdom by focusing on how you treat others and what positive actions you take, instead of worrying about having the best material possessions. Whether it's helping a friend, working on a project, or volunteering, these actions shape your 'kingdom' and define who you are.
